Imagine how brave you would be if you had a wasp of the size of a golden retriever in your house...

[@shamusomalley4263]

More like a chihuahua.

[@emanuellandeholm5657]

The best home security if you could toilet train the thing. The biggest hurdles I see are: 1. Food. Wasp flight at that size would be immensely costly in terms of energy. You'd have a mini airplane on your hands that cannot use efficient fuels like kerosene or petroleum for combustion. An active, dog-sized wasp could easily out eat a whole kennel. 2. Waste. Wasps piss an awful lot! That's how big nests can ruin structures like load-bearing walls in houses. Other than that, wasps are highly social animals. They're probably more social than your pet cat. I think you could really bond with a wasp, given the right pheromones. Best buddy for life! Subscribe for more wasp facts.

[@rogerdk4800]

Imagine having brain enough to not post stupid comments.

[@CZpersi]

At one point, the wasp could well be the same size as the chicks of those birds. The last thing you want is to get wasps accustomed to paying conjugal visits in your nest. Where there is one, there will be more very soon, because pheromones are a thing.

[@amandaf4720]

To be honest, I have the same reaction to seeing a wasp in my immediate vicinity. The threat display with the gaping beak and spread wings was very interesting to see! She's a brave little bird.

[@jeffmiller6954]

Yes: Imagine how a human would react to something like a 20 kilogram wasp -- I don't even like being around regular-sized wasps. I wonder if the bird knows that a bee is less dangerous than a wasp?

[@alis49281]

​@@jeffmiller6954I bet they do. They must have very sharp eyes, because they spot tiny spiders and insects in our garden. But there is a catch: they seem to have trouble seeing things that don't move. They don't recognize me, when I don't move.

[@weftwarp1537]

I hope that wasp wasn't looking for a place to build a nest. It'd be a terrible neighbor for such a beautiful bird and housekeeper 😊❤😊

She’s like “GET OUT AND STAY OUT!”

[@kryptokrypto702]

Flying insects seem to be scared of certain bird calls. I noticed one time, a small bird came around and all of a sudden all the mosquitos, deer flies and other flying insects took off. Bird calls must sound like war horns to flying insects/bugs.

[@talontales]

Perhaps the insects can hear the high frequency peeps that us humans can't hear. Thanks for sharing!

[@rafeisalltiedupnow]

[@Inquisitor_Vex]

@@rafeisalltiedupnowyou woukd probably have to find something native that the bugs might recognise as a threat.

[@Hbmd3E]

Its amazing how sentient they are, If that makes sense? so much facial expressions, movement expressing intelligence, emotions and like that.. When you see them outside they seem so rigid or how to say..

[@talontales]

Yes, they have character. They aren't just cloned copies of each other. I was also surprised 😯

[@wilmaflintstone9369]

Blue tits are such brave birds, saw a similar Situation with a big bee that did dig into the moss, but the blue tit was brave and insisted strongly to throw that bee out of her nest and she did 😃 greetings from Germany 👋😃

[@talontales]

Thanks for the lovely comment. Yes these birds are so brave yet so small, you can't help but like them

[@murphychurch8251]

She's just as wary as I am after finding and throwing out a big spider. Including making long legs and carefully looking down in case there's another on the ground. 😆 I hope the poor bird hasn't been pestered by wasps again. I love blue tits and hate wasps, so my sympathies are clearly one-sided!

[@talontales]

My thoughts exactly! Like a human after finding a roach or spider in their room. Imagine, just when you think you're safe and comfortable, you spot a buzzing child sized critter with a 1 hit kill bite, behind the sofa. Poor bird!

[@klarabarunovic9841]

I like how the subtitles match the birds coloring💛💙

[@emanuellandeholm5657]

Poor wasp. It was just seeking shelter from the deadly rain. :) In all seriousness tho; the blue tit is, for its size, a formidable bird. They can be quite aggressive against animals much larger than themselves. Squirrels better watch out!

[@bonjovirocks24]

The wasp was scouting for a new place to build a hive. Yikes!!!

[@emanuellandeholm5657]

@@bonjovirocks24 I'm gonna call "maybe" on that. 99.9999% of scouting wasps are either foraging or just trying to survive bad weather. It's the recently de-hibernated queen that builds a nest, and that's basically a one off event occurring in early spring. This looks like just another a forager to me, but I can definitely see why the tit would not want it hanging around. A single wasp sting could probably kill her. Subscribe for more wasp facts.

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

That wasp was looking for a place to build it's nest. That box looked like the perfect place. I hope it stays away.

[@huldu]

That was a very persistent queen wasp. The thing with wasps is that they're only aggressive/defensive near their nest not away from it. As you can see with this queen wasp it doesn't care about the bird or even attempt to sting it. I think the most scary wasps are the ones that build their nest in a burrow, those you have no idea where they are until you get too close to their nest. Terrifying.

[@dingledisco]

We have some blue tits nesting in our garden at the moment and they are absolutely one of our favourite little songbirds ever. Fantastic video by the way! 👍

[@think2086]

Imagine a flappy door--like a dog door--that the birds can easily push through but that keeps bugs out. I wonder if the birds could be trained to use it though. They probably wouldn't think to try I suppose. Unfortunate. Now, if you get together with Mark Rober, you could design a camera detection system that figures out when it's a bird, or even a *specific* couple of birds, to keep out predators. But then, after the parent birds hatch eggs, it has to figure out what the babies look like, perhaps by learning by studying the camera inside the bird house, so that it can open and close for them too. Or it might even decide to stay shut for the babies if they are too young and would fall to their deaths. I suppose you would need high-quality cameras with zoom lenses and A.I. that watches the footage and zooms in and out and pans as necessary, etc, then classifies what it sees and keeps intruders out. There would need to be a perch a short distance from the door, where the birds could land to give the camera/A.I. time to study them in case it is slow at times, as well as another perch right before the door, in case the birds are too fast for the door to open and need a place to land if it doesn't do so in time. But hopefully, the door mechanism will be extremely quick, and the A.I. will be fast enough too. Dark conditions would make it more challenging and necessitate good-quality infrared cameras. But those are sharper in general anyway. However, they lack color and birds use a lot of color that might be useful for classification. Probably the best route would be to use a combination of camera types plus a human operator that trains the A.I. by hitting buttons when it sees live, or even recorded, footage of various creatures approaching the door. If you think, "Yes, I want to let in those particular birds" then hit the button for that, the system will learn from this. So you get remote control human override as part of the package.

[@klarabarunovic9841]

I was just thinking about that

[@Wott786]

Damn. Smort

[@kips8156]

That wouldn’t be a good idea. I don’t know where they are and if it can get very hot there but the air flow in that nest would stop and it can lead to overheating and even suffocate the chicks. Birds need that air flow in their nests. It’s why you’ll see birds sometimes pull or mess around with the material in nest bowls. So when the chicks hatch, they can breath and not be so hot under mom. Even when they have hatched the mom will still continue fluffing up the bowl to keep the air open for them. It can also lead to increased concentration of ammonia and pathogens too.

[@Mag3.1415]

@@kips8156 would it work better if instead of opening the door every time the bird came in, it could close the door every time there’s a different bird?

[@huldu]

It was a queen it found a perfect spot to build a nest hence it came back a few times but realized it was not a safe spot. The queen had zero interest in the bird it wouldn't attempt to sting it unless the bird would have attacked it. Wasps away from their hive have zero interest in larger creatures unless they're close to their hive, of course. Queens are fairly docile.
